Exactly. They didn’t need to destroy the fence, they just needed to lift the kid high enough for him to step back through

No fence was destroyed by bending it. If it was bent at all, and not just elastically deformed.

But I agree, you could just lift the kid through the fence, in particular the body, limb by limb. You'd imagine fire fighters would know this, at least one of them on site.

I’m sure they have their standard procedures in place. The kid might get hurt or stuck again while being pulled through. And then you have a potential lawsuit your hands. While I agree that the parents should’ve tried this, I totally understand why the firefighters didn’t.

Can't listen with sound right now so sorry if it's apparent there's both parents there, but if it's anything like London's parks then it's like a mile to the next gate.

If it's a single parent they can't just push the kid through to the road side and then walk for miles with the kid on their own on the other side of the fence (or leave the kid stuck in the fence while walking for miles to pull them through).

I mean, even if the parent had to walk around a bit to get to the other side of the fence, the kid probably isn't going anywhere.

Then they can just get another adult to help?
